Ontario prospectors license, ♛ rockhounding to ⚖ the next level! ♛

Ontario prospector's license

While some could use this card to pull off evil acts of legal property invasion and lawful plunder, anyone who does so should be tarred and feathered, but hey, Im old fashioned.

This little card here is somewhat of an all access pass across Ontario lands, allowing rockhounds the opportunity to prospect provincial parks, penetrate and probe private properties, even pillage small amounts of  "Sample material" for "analysis".
or, to take it a step further,
set up a mine in your backyard -(WOW eh)

While there have been some amendments to the rules recently, with certain central and southern areas of Ontario said to be off limits, let us not forget, this is Ontario. With the right amount of money, connections or economy driven impact,  anything is possible. So yes, special exceptions can be made believe it or not, and, if you just so happen to be living on gold ANYWHERE in Ontario, and sadly, not own your mineral rights ( as most dont, they are not usually included in the sale of  a house ).
Someone might just set up shop on YOUR property,  regardless of what previous plans you've made or weddings you are about to throw.

Ontario's laws continue to amaze me.

Something I just found at the side of the house. There looks to be quartz on one side but the rest I have no clue. Very strange looking piece.



























Just another table full of overflow and in need of labeling.  I will do a grand tour of my minerals one day, once I have everything set up nice, for now, its all in barn light, lol.

Lots of pyrite mixed samples.

Boxes and boxes of rocks.

Overflow display of rock samples

Racks and racks of rocks and fossils.
Im not sure how long I can keep this up, I might need a building or two just to continue this hobby.

Carboniferous limestone fossil

Fossils found in the backyard, mostly Carboniferous limestone.
